LAURA PAUSINI VS SOPHIE TURNER
Results: Lookout Writing: Archer
Laura: 42 YO, 5’6 ½ (1/69 m), (FCBA) 0-5-0 since 2014, Latin Union
Sophie: 21 YO, 5’9 (1.75 m), 3-1-0 since 2015, Foxfire Boxing
Before: “I don’t think it’s that strange a matchup,” Sophie Turner earnestly tells the press. “My Foxfire management and myself think it would be very healthy for my career development to fight different types of Lightweights. Laura is a former Italian Lightweight champion and has enjoyed many successful years in World celebrity boxing. I want to fight as many boxers from other countries as will get into the ring with me. I think it will make me a better fighter in the long run and Laura is part of that.”
Laura Pausini can see the doubting faces out there as she takes to the podium. The Italian singer says firmly: “I did not come here to lose. I came here to win. Sophie Turner is much younger than me and even taller, but she cannot equal the years of experience I will bring against her. This fight will surprise a good many people because I mean to win it.”
Brave words, but the doubters are still out there even as the fighters come to the ring on Fight Night. Sophie is in red satin short boxing trunks with a white top emblazoned with the FOXFIRE logo in red. Red gloves and boots with white laces. Her red hair in a battle braid down her back. Laura in in dark blue satin short boxing trunks with a light blue top. Dark blue boots and gloves, white laces. Her hair is piled on top of her head in a bun. Laura looking up at the taller Sophie who seems embarrassed at finding herself over 2 inches taller than her opponent, though Laura looks very solid physically. The ring instructions are given and the fighters in their corners. The bell rings.
R1: Laura wastes no time in getting across the ring and driving her gloves into the body of her younger, taller opponent. Sophie get clouted to the ribs, stomach, chest and then Laura smacks the redhead’s jaw around. Sophie retreating in confusion, nearly getting tangled in her own legs, but finally using her jab to answer Laura’s furious attack. Sophie manages to bring the attack to a halt and then goes on the attack herself. She’s aiming mostly at Laura’s head, but the smaller woman is ducking under many of these and hammering hooks up into Sophie’s body. Sophie’s attack stalls out and they circle warily. Then Laura strikes again catching Sophie with some stinging shots to the ribs. Sophie jabs back. She is crouching down, trying to get more jabs into Laura’s body, but getting her face whacked by Laura’s countering rights and lefts. Sophie falls back and Laura comes in, working those ribs and popping Sophie’s chin when she can. Sophie jabbing back. Very active exchange to the bell. Round is close, but it goes to Laura Pausini.
R2: Laura again fast on her feet to start a round and she leaps in to smash Sophie with a surprise right cross to the jaw. Sophie stunned, just stands there and Laura swarms in, trying to land more head shots, Sophie getting her guard to o cover her face, but gives up her body as Laura feasts on Sophie’s midsection. Those ribs come in for more attention. Sophie dazed and struggling for several long moments, but finally snaps out of it and gets her jab back up. This drives Laura back, but Sophie got a big swelling lump on her jaw and an ache in her ribs as the round draws to a close. Laura Pausini again the winner, but wide this time.
R3: Trainer Virginia Madsen speaking urgently to Sophie Turner. Sophie looks tense as she nods her head. Now Sophie is off her stool with speed and driving her early punches into Laura. Laura getting banging hard to the head and then to the body as she tries to back there. Laura finally able to get some distance as she and Sophie circle each other, but then Sophie is on the attack again. Laura trying to jab, but Sophie only slowed, she’s bouncing punches off Laura’s head and digging shots into her chest. Laura backs away again, but finding it hard to evade Sophie. It’s all Laura can do to stay off the ropes to the bell. Round goes to Sophie Turner by a comfortable margin.
R4: Laura trying to be warier, more defensive this round, but Sophie is still on the hunt. She circles around Laura, snapping quick ones to head or body. Laura keeping up, but she can’t seem to stop the steady incoming. Then Sophie makes her moves, she moves in, muscles Laura’s jab away and sends a quick-firing series of rights and lefts into Laura’s head. Laura starting to sag, arms falling to her side as Sophie flashes out with a finishing right to the jaw and LAURA CRASHES TO THE CANVAS! Laura lands hard on her side, rolls to her back with one arm thrown over her eyes, the other at her side as she groans softly. Sophie goes to neutral corner as the referee moves in. Laura not doing anything more tonight as she just sleeps through the count and it is over!
The Winner: Sophie Turner KO4!
After: “I do hope she’s all right,” Sophie Turner says as she watches a revived, but rubber-legged Laura Pausini assisted from the ring. “Those first two rounds certainly surprised me. Fortunately my trainer, Virginia Madsen steadied me and got me to be the one doing the attacking. As you can see that worked out very well. I admit I should not have been as surprised as I was in those first two rounds so I have learned from this fight. No, I don’t know who I’ll be fighting next, but I am ready to take on any reasonable opponent.”
“Laura was very disappointed in this fight,” a spokesperson for Latin Union tells the press, “she feels she let it get away from her. No, most certainly not. Laura intends to go on fighting. Age is just a number. She feels she can fight well and so she will!”
Good fight for Sophie Turner. She ran into some adversity, but came back and won the bout. Fans are becoming excited, though Foxfire says they don’t intend to rush her, but just what will come next for redhead is the subject of much social media speculation. Meanwhile Laura Pausini still can’t seem to break her FCBA jinx, but she did show some flashes of her winning ways in this fight. Fans hope they will see more of them in future bouts.
